Representation

Gender and Equality

The gender for all the characters in the opening scene are all male and so there is nothing really to say about the femininity of the opening. The male roles in the film are all quite dark and or victimised such as the victim of the murder. There are the levels of authority shown in the opening scenes where There is a man who kills a man for money and all under orders of another man. The highest authority is obviously shown as the Boss who ordered the killing.

Social World

The social world that is presented in this film is that an ordinary everyday urban living man can do bad things if needed to when he is in a struggle. For example as he kills a man for money.
There is not much to say about any of the axes of identity. The average age for the actors would be about Mid 30's. There would be no stereotypes of young criminals or older disabled people. The cultural background for all of the characters would be the London urban culture as this is set in London as all of the characters are from there.

Axes of Identity

The gender for all the characters in this film opening are all male and so there is not much to say about gender equality. There is a level of authority in the opening which I have shown above referring back to the first paragraph. As there is no real involvement from women in this opening, there is nothing to say about the characters having relationships or having families/wives. The opening is not long enough to highlight any of these topics that may occur to a typical man.

Ideology

The ideology behind the film is that there is a man who is struggling for money as he is staying in a B&B and he has little money. This is associated with The character of Kevin having to kill a man for money. The opening of this film would suggest that this is the first time that Kevin has performed an act  of Murder for money as he is going out of his mind having killed. The way that I would like the character of Kevin to come across to the audience would be to show that Kevin is an ordinary everyday man living in London caught in a struggle for money. Kevin turns to his boss to kill a man for money and his boss meets up with Kevin in the opening of the film to hand him the money. Kevin is going insane because of the killing and he seems to think that the victim who he killed is following him and is haunting Kevin.
I would like to create a sense of realism from this opening trying to show that this could be a real scenario that a man in struggle would turn to crime to help him get some cash and that he could be distressed because of these acts of a criminal.
